Kafi Drexel and NY 1 took a trip uptown to Red Rooster Harlem, and we enjoyed the fried yardbird with white gravy and shrimp with red grits.Â Check out this video of our discussion about Red Rooster's history and a few of the restaurant's signature dishes.

We discussed how the old Red Rooster was really where the local community met.Â Clayton Powell, Charles Rangel, and Nat King Cole met next to "the regular working guy."Â I've tried to create a place where writers are inspired to create books, but also where the guy that works at the post office could come and have a drink.

I hope Kafi Drexel and NY 1 enjoyed their time at Red Rooster. Watch the full videoÂ here.
